New insights into the reproductive biology of Tsetse flies – Tech Explorist
To better understand the unique reproductive biology of tsetse flies, scientists explored the intact organs and tissues of tsetse flies using a powerful 3D X-ray…
Tsetse flies are carriers of the parasites that cause a deadly infection known as African sleeping sickness. Without treatment, an infection is usually fatal.
They have unique reproductive biology. They only develop one offspring at a time; they carry that offspring in their uterus for its entire immature development and provide nourishment for that offspring via milk-like secretions.
